Whew…I was nervous you wouldn’t love it as much as I did! It is great to hear from someone who knows that world- especially that it was accurate. I don’t remember the parts I thought might be a bit much- maybe it was the more mystical aspects of Ruby.

You mentioned some of this was over the top…and based on my exposure to sailing and racing culture, it seemed pretty accurate. Maybe not quite to the extent the Johos went to, but he captured the general idea well.

Again – thank you, thank you for pushing this book into my hands!

I don’t believe he’s written all that many titles. I’ve read The Highest Tide and I THINK I read Border Songs. Both so long ago I’m not sure which I would recommend, but I’d say Tide. That’s a fantastic turnout! I’d love to hear him speak.

I’ve never read Lynch before but am now ready to go- any advice on which book to go to next? I met him last night and it was so amazing. 200 people turned out.

This sounds really interesting, Catherine, and so great that you have a connection to the setting, as well; I don’t know anything about sailing, or have any experience with it, but I’m still intrigued by this family…and I loved The Boys in the Boat, too! Thanks for sharing this one!

This one sounds right up my alley.
